De Silva: "Karunaratne's captaincy was quite complementary wasn't it?.. Srilanka wouldn't have dreamt to come so far in the match with all the chaos..."

UJack: "Excellent comeback by SL to take the last 5 wickets for just 8 runs! Superb performance by Embuldeniya too, a 5-fer on debut!"

1.55pm South Africa slipped from 251 for 5 to 259 all out but the target for Sri Lanka is a daunting 304. Chasing 300-plus in the fourth innings is never easy, and moreover, this will be the highest total for the Test if they do so. Can Karunaratne and Co put up a fight? We will get to know soon.

MVT Fernando to Steyn, OUT, and that's it. Fuller on middle and leg, and Steyn, was already standing on the off stump, moves across towards the off side and looks to flick, misses and it's timber
